  1. So tasty I made them two nights in a row. I have an abundance of Courgettes. Husband has what ever is left over for his lunch, and they seem even tastier then!
     
  2. I have made these a few times now and we can't get enough of them. I did not use the cheese as I am not buying it at the moment as my husband is on a constant diet! I am looking forward to trying them with cheese but they are really nice without it. Thank you for sharing this recipe
     
  3. What a great way to use up any abundant zucchini!<br/>Apart from squeezing out any excess moisture from the zucchini, I made this recipe exactly as written, and these turned out just perfectly. I did have my doubts about the batter being too thin, but went with it...... but as soon as the batter hit the hot oil they were just so easy to shape and flip....and no breaking!<br/>Great recipe, one which I would love try on the b.b.q. with egg rings next time.<br/>Being an all time Aussie girl I enjoyed mine with some dead horse (tomato sauce) and I just devoured them.<br/>Love this recipe Kathy .... and with summer here and zucchini growing faster than the weeds in my garden I will using this recipe a lot.<br/>Thanks so much.
     
  4. These courgette fritters were wonderful. The flavor was excellent and the texture was to die for. Light, tender, crispy and perfect. They were quick and easy to make with terrific results. Made exactly as written, wouldn't change a thing...Thanks for sharing a recipe that I will enjoy again.
     
  5. They were very easy to do. The texture was great. I added just enough flour to hold their shape. They were easy to flip in the pan without breaking. They were very yummy. Thanks Kiwi Kathy :) Made for the Australian Recipe Swap for March 2012
